Puppy love? No, I am not talking about when two people fall in love and the first stages are considered puppy love. I'm not talking about having a crush on somebody -- that's called puppy love. I am actually talking about love from a puppy, and does love really get much better?
Recently, my family adopted two black Labs, they are about 10-week- old, and the cutest bundles of fluff. We adopted a little boy puppy named "Hurkey" and a little girl puppy named "Daisy Mae" (but I call her Daisy Dukes because it's so much more fitting, in my opinion). I have never experienced having a puppy before, (let alone two) and considering I am out of the house already, I won't have a lot of time watching them grow up into dogs. Until school starts again in about a week, I am spending a great amount of time over at my family's seeing the puppies, and I think I fell in "puppy love."
I never realized how great having a puppy so close is. Besides the fact that they bite and eat everything, they are the cutest. Hurkey is a nutcase, but in a good way. He likes to bite and be wild! His favorite thing to do is run all over the house, chew his Kong toy, and attempt to jump up on the furniture (but he can't because he's still too little.) Daisy Dukes is the sweetheart. She gives kisses, and will sleep with you at night. Although, she does have some personality features that involve a little moodiness and going after Hurkey (but playing, of course) I have never seen cuter puppies.
Having two puppies, they also have Jadie Jones, who is a 6-year old Beagle. At first, she wanted nothing to do with them, especially Hurkey. Jadie is a little spoiled and thinks everything is hers in the house, and having the new puppies really made her rethink the way she acts.
Now, Jadie has one single gross toy that she is obsessed with and carries around. The puppies can have any other toy, except for Jadie's one! Jadie is also learning how to share, and she is even taking the role of mommy-ing the puppies. Whenever the puppies are doing something they aren't suppsoed to do that's when the old girl, Jadie Jones, gets involved and tells them to knock it off. Jadie also makes sure that they eat their food, and don't hurt each other when they play fight with each other. If one gets to rough with another she will step in the middle and break it up. So, I guess Jadie is experiencing some puppy love?
Puppy love is in the air around me as these last few days of summer come to an end. I can't wait to spend my last couple days loving these wonderful dogs, so here's to my puppies and an ol' girl, too. I love you Hurkey, Daisy and Jadie Jones!
